So, I was helping my girlfriend's brother move his old PC's guts into a new case today, and there seems to be an issue with the front audio.

Now, flash back to two days ago, his motherboards audio jack simply stopped working. No idea why, as I'm rather sure it wasn't a pulled cord issue. So we hooked up the speakers to the front audio jack. They worked fine.

Anyways, I'm rather sure it has something to do with the audio drivers, and not my connectors. (The computer detects that speakers are hooked up.) I'm also sure that it' not something as simple as the sound being muted, etc.

Anyways, I need help finding the audio drivers, and or your guys and gal's advice.

The computer is a emachine T4155. I did manage to find the emachine restore disk, and I'm pretty sure it might have audio drivers on it. But I wanted to hear some advice before I might totally screw the whole system over.
 
If you can pull the audio driver off the restore disk, that seems like a safe option to me.
If you are worried, download a tool to check the hardware to make sure you know what the audio hardware is, and then go hunting for the latest drivers.
 
Yeah, that's what I was thinking. But I wanted to check with others here on TPU to make sure it was a good idea.

^ that is your best bet I would try to use the restore disc if it works then find the current driver
 
Actually once you installed the drivers from the restore disk, run a system update. The computer should realize they are out dated and just update to the newest drivers that have been certified and tested.
 
Got it working, pulled audio drivers off the disk and then ran system update, thanks guys.
 
Yeah, same here. Thanks for the links.
